TRAVEL BAN: US GOVERNMENT SUSPENDS ORDER

The US Government has said it will act in accordance with federal judge, James Robart's temporary halt on Donald Trump’s travel ban, thereby restoring travel for refugees and for people from seven Muslim-majority countries.

The President however criticised the order on his Twitter handle yesterday in a series
of tweets: “The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!”
He also wrote: “When a country is no longer able to say who can, and who cannot , come in & out, especially for reasons of safety & security – big trouble!” He went on: “Interesting that certain Middle-Eastern countries agree with the ban. They know if certain people are allowed in it’s death & destruction!”
On Saturday night, he told news reporters: “We’ll win. For the safety of the country, we’ll win.”

The federal government’s request for an emergency stay was filed Saturday night with the 9th US circuit court of appeals.
